DRAMA

A darkly humorous epic about power, corruption and madness - played out in the conflict between an enigmatic politician, Michael Murray, and his nemesis, schoolteacher Jim Nelson. Nelson defies a Murray-inspired 24-hour strike and inadvertently steals the limelight when it is picked up by the press. While Murray seeks revenge in what is initially a one-sided fight, we slowly discover the secrets in his past that will cause his carefully constructed world to unravel. Then, just when the pressure of public life and power games start getting on top of him, a beautiful woman arrives on the scene.
